## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use these on a ovation guitar and and do they have the metal circles to hold it to the bridge? Sorry I’m quite new to guitars**
A: Yes, these strings will work well with an Ovation Acoustic guitar. Yes, these strings have the ball ends that you describe.

**Q: Does this come with 6 pins too ?**
A: This set of strings does not include pins.

**Q: Does this have all 6 strings? And does it come with a string winder etc..**
A: This is all 6 strings. That is all it is. There is no winder included.

**Q: hi would these be okay for a beginner with little to no experience?**
A: They’re quite a light gauge, which means you don’t have to exert that much finger pressure in order to form a chord or fret a string. And for that reason I’d say yes, they’re ideal for a beginner. Though with being a lighter gauge, the strings may feel a bit more slippy when playing, but it’s something you get used to and is a bonus as you can bend notes more easily. They’re steel strings, so the obvious initial hardship will be suffering from them until your finger tips harden, that’s always a stumbling block for players transferring from classical nylon strings to steel, but it does get easier and less painful the more you play, I promise.
